The chief significance of the enterprise is therefore symbolic. And the symbolism, when examined even cursorily, doesn't seem too adorable. The intended beneficiary of the stunt is a ruling group with close ties to two of the most retrograde dictatorships in the Middle East, each of which has recently been up to its elbows in the blood of its own civilians. The same group also manages to maintain warm relations with, or at the very least to make cordial remarks about, both Hezbollah and al-Qaida. Meanwhile, a document that was once accurately described as a 'warrant for genocide' forms part of the declared political platform of the aforesaid group. There is something about this that fails to pass a smell test.","author":"Christopher Hitchens","tags":["activism","al-qaeda","antisemitism","dictatorship","freedom-flotilla-ii","gaza","gaza-war","genocide","hamas","hezbollah","human-rights","israel","israeli-palestinian-conflict","middle-east","palestine","politics","protocols-of-the-elders-of-zion","symbolism"],"id":6195,"author_id":"Christopher+Hitchens"},{"text":"Lincoln on Grant: 'He makes things get.

For men and women, living each day in practical defiance of thousands of years of gender-based streaming is so much harder than walking in marches, running workshops, and writing blog posts. It means questioning everything you do, moment by moment, day by day. It means thinking differently and making dozens of conscious decisions every day that you might have made on auto-pilot before. It's hard. It's taxing. It's tiring.","author":"Terry Fallis","tags":["activism","feminism"],"id":12537,"author_id":"Terry+Fallis"},{"text":"We are limited only by our imagination and our will to act.","author":"Ron Garan","tags":["action","activism","astronaut","imagination","space"],"id":14857,"author_id":"Ron+Garan"},{"text":"Words are fossilized butterfly wings,pretty to look at sometimes,but only good for Museums.I want to miserably burn down the Museums.","author":"Jeremiah Walton","tags":["action","activism","activist","love","poem","poetry","poets","words"],"id":17352,"author_id":"Jeremiah+Walton"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":389,"pages":39,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
